ABOUT
Fahrenheit Films is a Vienna-based film production company founded in 2017 by documentary filmmaker Jola Wieczorek, an Austrian artist of Polish origin. The company was established to produce her creative non-fiction films with the greatest possible artistic freedom.
Wieczorek’s work explores themes of migration, memory, and identity. She inscribes politics into the nomadic biographies of her protagonists – travellers between worlds, languages, and cultures, searching for a home that ultimately remains a place of longing.
Her debut feature, Stories from the Sea, premiered at the Viennale, earning the Max Ophüls Prize for Best Music in a Documentary and the Local Artist Award at Crossing Europe. Her second feature, Days Yet Unknown (Die noch unbekannten Tage), is currently in post-production.
